M4GICFOUR's February Freebies givaway - Now with samples from nes/snes/sms/smd/psx

Contest Closed. All prizes claimed.Thanks for playing!

I've been meaning to do a giveaway for a while now. Originally I was going to give a couple games away as a surprise with Qubit's modern warefare 3 givaway, but he never got back to me on who to send them to. So, there have been a few good sales on Steam, and I've built up a decent library of gift passes. Time to get rid of them. We're going to play name that game.

Giveaway is open to everybody with a forum account at TPU including staff, mods, etc.

UPDATED (again)
Since several people have complained that these samples are before their time for PC, I've put up 11 new tracks from nes/snes/sms/smd/psx. Don't say I never gave you anything

I have wicked slow upload speed, so it will likely take some time for the new tracks to show up.All tracks uploaded. Total of 36 prizes to be won

How to play:
Follow the link provided below (under the rules), and listen to the sound clips. When you recognize one which hasn't been claimed, put a post in this thread with the clip number, the name of the game it came from, and a short story of your favorite memory of the game (Doesn't need to be anything special). If you just recogised the game because you've heard the music before, you can just say that. Or, you can make up an entertainingly elaborate lie. Whatever floats your boat.

If you win a prize, I will PM you ask what prize you want and to either: Get your Steam e-mail address so I can send you the gift pass, or I'll send you the GOG.com gift code, and a link to the gift redeem page.

The sound clips are all most from older PC games, from DOS era to early-mid Windows (95/98/ME era). Last 11 (26-36) are from nes/snes/n64/sms/smd/ps1. Due to the nature of PC sound hardware in the DOS era, these clips may not sound exactly as you remember them. Don't be afraid to guess, but remember rule #2. A total of 25 36 prizes will be won.

Rules: (RTFMFM)1. You can only win ONCE (If people stop posting and I've still got prizes left I'll open it up to previous winners)
2. You may only guess/identify at ONE (1) clip at a time, ONE (1) entry per day. Give everybody a chance. an attempt to steal is not considered an entry unless it is successful.

We're going into PHASE 2.

The rules will change in two important ways:1) Each person may now win up to a total of three(3) prizes each. If you've already won once, now you've got a chance to win twice more.

2) You may enter twice per day.

ENDGAME MODE

Rules:1) The amount of prizes each person may win is unlimited
2) You may enter three times per day.

3. First person to correctly identify each clip wins a prize. Once a clip has been identified, it is no longer valid to win a prize (see prizes below)
4. If you don't include the story - (see how to play) - your entry is forfeit. (even if you correctly identified the clip, allowing the next guy to steal your prize.)
5. Prizes are first come first served. If you already own all the prizes I have left, I can probably work something out.
6. Don't comment on the SoundCloud clips, as that could give it away.
7. Forum user TheJesus cannot win on clip 25.

Alright now for my turn.
I believe #1 is Zone 66. Now for my elaborate story; I remember playing this game while I was doing my homework while dancing, talking, jumping, flopping, shooting, and throwing my shoes on the floor.

Number 7 is Raptor: Call of the Shadows.
This is the game I was remembering in the previous post. I played this to death when my family got it's first* pc around 12 years ago. The level with the green ships (in a city I believe) were a pain in the ass.

*There was one before this but it had no OS that I know of and all you could see was bunch of green writing.

Number 8 Claimed by TheHeyZeus for Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

#23 is Hellbender! It's like Descent. Fly around, blow up shit, what's not to love? You basically defend Earth from a species scientists created. Think of it like FarCry...but in aircraft...and with horrible graphics...oh who am I kidding? There's not much in common. XD

#27 = Goldeneye! I fucking loved that game! My favorite character for MP was oddjob because he was so short and I figured that made him harder to hit. My sister and I would always play "slappers only".

I only played it when I rented a Sega from TOP 40 for the weekend. I was such a fan of Sonic maybe because my access was limited. Watched the Saturday morning cartoons and everything. Oh, had this little spring loaded Sonic shooter thing too. Still one of my favorite games. Stupid Robuttnik (sic intentional).

See I knew I heard it but without those obvious tips, I wouldn't have got it.

Simon gave me alot of good times in castlevania which I think #32, it was a pretty easy game back then but I still think it was one of the games you needed skill for, even then only one boss was hard(grim reaper) and that wasn't even the final boss If I remember.

Well, Sample 33 is the theme from Contra, Oh I remember this when I was a youngster playing till 1:00AM at midnight, and my mom would always go into the living room and start beating me for playing so late.

I put alot of time into that game, and it gave me alot of beatdowns in return

still I wish you used zelda: The Ocarina of time instead, that was probably one of the most time wasting games ever made as everyone spent tons of hours looking for the triforce and it wasn't even in the game, but it was a good game.
